The article examines the features of teaching public speech to medical university students in the context of their future profession. The relevance of the study is determined by the search for effective approaches to the formation of future doctors’ communicative competence, which is an indispensable condition for their successful self-realization in the professional field.

The author pays attention to the issue of formation and development of public speaking skills as an important component of communication competence. The current state of the problem of teaching medical rhetoric is analyzed, and the expediency of using a contextual approach in teaching the discipline “Russian Language and Basics of Business Communication” is substantiated.

The study showed an example of the implementation of a contextual approach in the development of public speaking skills in the process of teaching informative speech to first-year medical university students. Practical tasks aimed at analyzing samples of informing speech and its creation were developed and tested.

Based on the conducted research, it can be concluded that the use of a contextual approach in teaching enhances the motivation of students to work by immersing them in the material related to future professional activities. The proposed tasks encourage students to perform speech-thinking actions that are important for developing the qualities of clinical thinking and public speaking skills.
